A California lawmaker recently introduced legislation to upgrade an award for a Vietnam-era airman to the Medal of Honor. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Calif., last week presented H.R.2330, which would authorize the president to award the military's highest award for valor to Air Force Col. Philip Conran for heroism in Laos during the Vietnam War. Conran lives in Santa Barbara and is a constituent of Carbajal. Read more about Conran's heroic acts on Military.com.
